Ir Sensor Arduino Diagram. In this tutorial we will learn how to use an ir receiver and remote with arduino. Beside vcc and gnd pin the sensor has only one output pin that should be connected to one of digital pins of the arduino.
Infrared ir communication is widely used and wireless technology which is easy to implement. In this case it s connected to pin 13. See video for better reference.
The leds are connected to pins 2 to 5 of the arduino and the output of the ir receiver to pin 6.
The usual operating current of 3 and 5 mm leds is around 20 ma. Mainly tsop receiver is used to receive data which support various transmitted code. See video for better reference. The arduino sketch begins with pin assignment to the ir sensor and indicator led.
